[Diminished vision, loss of libido, headache].
A 34-year old patient was diagnosed to suffer from a carcinoma of the pituitary gland. A developing panhypopituitarism was seen first and the complete extirpation of a chromophobe, non-secreting adenoma of the pituitary gland was preliminary not successful. During half a year the patient relapsed clinically and morphologically by scanning methods and the progression of the malignancy of the tumor from WHO grad (adenoma) to WHO grad III (carcinoma) was histologically confirmed.
